Hmm, obviously it's advisable to come from a reputable university but then again, for those who choose to do it in a local uni, i dun c the problem since there r also a lot of lawyers who r from local uni who did not have to take CLP since they r already exposed to M'sian law.

o...but is it harder for someone who graduated from local u such as MMU to gt a job in law firm if compared to other graduates?

So I'm new here and just thought that the posts were great but i only started A-lvls and i am quite desperate to know the advisable subjects to be taken by a law student ...

thnx for the tip again

No la..as far as i'm concerned, i dun think so.

Elo there
Which subjects did u mean? for A'lvls? or for degree?

I think he means A-levels.

For an A-levels student who is going to read law in the future, any subjects in A-levels will do.
You can even take up science subjects if you want . However, if you looking for subjects which may help you in your degree.
I would suggest you take up Law, Business Studies, Sociology, Economics and English. You can choose 3 from these of course.

For law student , all subjects are compulsory in your 1st year if u r taking UoL External LLB.

Ok.. and yes i was talking about A-lvls ... sorry for the confusion

So anyway what if i'm thinking about a double degree in business and law ?

Would taking 3 to 4 subjects from Law, Business Studies, Sociology, Economics or English remain the best option ?

Hey! I'm migrating to Canada soon! and I'll take law over there. Any comment? hard? easy? nice?. Is there any International law that i can take? I might be coming back to Malaysia because i love this country. Does that mean I'm not officially a lawyer in here? although i graduate from canada?

Thanks.

If you're thinking of reading law in Canada, bear in mind that it is only available as a graduate program, if I am not mistaken. (similar to the US)

This means you'll have to obtain an undergraduate degree first before sitting for the LSAT (Law School Admission Test) and applying to the respective law school of your choice.

erm...sry i cant gt you.MMU law degree holder cant take postgraduate at famous university such as UM is it?
thanks for ur help anyway.

Lolx...In my opinion, it is no harm for you to think of taking a double degree in business and law. That would depends whether do you have the intention to practice in Malaysia. Please refer to Legal Qualifying Board , if i am not mistaken, for a double degree holder, the duration of it must be at least 5 years, with that, you will only be allowed to sit for CLP . So, though it is no harm to think more, you really have to take more things into consideration before you make any decision.

Due to the A-levels subjects issue, if you are capable with 4 or 5 subjects and score well, why not ? it opens more options to you.
If you are not, 3subjects is advisable. Actually, whether those subjects are the best option is really subjective as it depends on how do you define BEST in this context. Anyway, the aforementioned subjects are commonly what pre-law students would take nowadays.
Besides, if you think you can do well in science subjects , you can try taking it. Why not i mean if it helps you to get an A instead of others subjects which are total stranger to you ?

My 2 cents. Hope it helps. hehe...

Appreciate it

Oh ok. Hmm, for me..since i intend to take up Law so i'll just stick to Art subjects. But maybe for u is a different thing. Maybe u have interest in science subjects which doesn't prevent u from taking it up. Just bear in mind to achieve the required grades only lor

Lolx..i think there's some communication problems between you and Xzilled .
Haha...anyway, MMU law degree holder is recognised under MQA and get exempted from CLP now.
So, job prospects wise is depends on their performance ? The first badge was out, pending on those law firm's view la.
I am nobody to judge MMU law graduates.

I think as long as the degree is recognised in Malaysia and it fullfilled the entry requirement. I can see no reason why MMU law graduates cannot further their post graduate studies in UM , a famous university in accordance to you.

Dont worry about that. hahax....

o...i gt you.thanks all of u for the advice. i am planning to go for foundation in law that offered by MMU but just worry about the future of a graduate from MMU law.erm..i would like to ask one more question. UK university graduates have to take CLP in order to practise law in malaysia,before they pass the test,can they work in a law firm or legal department?

Can, why not ? work as an attachment but not as a chambering though. Even if you want to work in law firm now also wouldnt be a problem.
